This learning opportunity is our next level of mentor and coaching training designed for mentors and coaches supporting beginning teachers. Utilizing the New Teacher Center philosophy and model, Advanced Mentor Institute will focus on creating conditions for equitable instruction, mentoring every learner, advancing instruction to support language development, and analyzing mentor impact. We have realigned this training to better meet the needs of Arizona teachers and mentors. The learning is sequenced to build on knowledge, skills, and understanding, all of which are critical for new teacher mentors, in a range of program contexts.
Advanced Mentor Institute participants will:
- Engage in strategic coaching cycles (plan, observe, analyze student learning) to support Optimal Learning Environments and center the student experience.
- Explore these coaching tools in Kiano and debrief with the group to better understand how they will be used in strategic coaching cycles.
- Identify and reflect on high leverage tools that align to the Instructional Core
- Plan to implement elements of universal design for learning and address diverse language needs.
- Analyze and reflect on your own coaching impact through leadership. Reflect on the learning of technical vs. adaptive change, and create your next steps.
Prerequisite: Mentor Institute must be completed prior to attending Advanced Mentor Institute. This will ensure that participants have the foundational knowledge and skills to explore these new topics.
